Helps Olyphant get a job
DeGeneres helps Olyphant with his foreign accent skills to help him get a new job. DeGeneres:
So you’re looking for your next job when Justified is over so we’re going to play a little game to show off all your skills.
Charity tennis match
Rossdale defeats Olyphant at the charity MAK Games benefiting the MAK Center For Art And Architecture. Both are avid tennis players. Rossdale:
I grew up playing tennis and just loving it. I used to get a kick out of watching Wimbledon. I think Wimbledon is a big deal for most British kids.
Timothy Olyphant interview
Olyphant returns as a guest on Conan wearing a tennis shirt, shorts, and flip-flops. He talks about his upcoming movie, This is Where I Leave You and his technique to not feeling intimidated acting around big celebrities.
This is my trick. They don’t teach this in Kung Fu. I came up with this on my own. You just come up with the least intimidating — whatever they got on their resume. And you just hold that and then it seems like such a big deal when you’re working opposite them. Bateman is amazing and all of these things but if I just say oh, yeah, from Mr. Belvedere. Yeah. I really enjoyed that show.
Esquire interview
Olyphant speaks about being co-executive producer of the FX show Justified:
Honestly, I don’t think I’m doing anything different this season than I’ve done in any other seasons. It’s just now on the up and up with the title, meaning I’ve been a big pain in their ass from the jump. I was never not a pain in the ass. It’s now just official pain in the ass. That title is not available, so instead they gave me co-executive producer.
Emmy nomination
Olyphant is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama at the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Raylan Givens on Justified.
